need advice please

[Guest guest]

Hi, I am a newly diagnosed diabetic, I found out 10 days ago.

Back in Sept I began reducing by following the low-carb food plan and

swimming an hour a day.....it works.

During Sept I asked my dr to run a thyroid test for me and he said while he

was at it he would run glucose and cholesterol.

In Oct he said he needed to do further blood work that I might be diabetic,

10 days ago he confirmed I am. I began glyburide but read it causes weight

gain, doing more research I read glucophage does not, so I asked him for

some and he gave it to me.

Last night I had terrible runs (NOT the way I want to lose weight) but I

also am in ketosis and I had only lost 1 pound in 2 weeks! UGH!

NOW~what meds would YOU stop taking?

I also started celebrex for my chronic arthritic pain, I had been on 25

200mg ibuprophen a day, now I read celebrex causes diarhhea also.

I can't talk to my dr til tomorrow.

My blood sugars are low now, last night 45 and this am 91, not even the

126 - 200 they were before I found out, they were probably higher before I

began low carbing the dr says.

Considering all of this do you think I am in that thing called

ketosisacidosis????Or whatever the name is, I am kind of worried.

And what is that exactly? Being Thanksgiving the clinic is closed of course.

I've lost 23 pounds since Sept and at least I found out about the diabetes

before it got much worse, if I hadn't asked for that test or started

reducing I would not know today, I am determined to fight this thing and was

wondering if people with knowledge would give me their advice?

I am having alot of stress about all of this~

Thanks,

Jill
